About This Location

Experience breathtaking views at Up Up Lookout, a 40-foot tower in Montana's Bitterroot Mountains offering a unique, elevated backcountry camping experience.

Perched atop a striking rock pinnacle in the heart of the Bitterroot Mountains, Up Up Lookout offers one of the most unique lodging experiences in western Montana. This 40-foot tower provides guests with an unmatched bird's-eye view of the surrounding St. Regis River drainage and the rugged high alpine country near the Idaho border. The site is accessible by vehicle, making it a distinct destination for those looking to immerse themselves in the quiet beauty of the Rocky Mountains.

The lookout serves as a rustic retreat for adventurous travelers. While the site features basic amenities including vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables, guests should be prepared for a primitive experience with no hookups available. The area is a prime hub for outdoor enthusiasts, offering immediate access to local hiking and biking trails, as well as nearby fishing opportunities.

This location is best suited for experienced campers and those seeking a remote getaway. Due to the tower's height and exterior open stairway, it is not recommended for families with young children. Whether you are looking to rent the historic cabin or explore the high-altitude terrain, Up Up Lookout provides an unforgettable perspective on the Montana wilderness.
